Our first ever U16 team reaching the Tri-County (CN, MN, FH) Division 2 final.
Our first ever U15 team winning a Monaghan blitz.
Our very first National Féile (U14) in June. What a weekend for the club and players! Too much for this short news. Check our Facebook group for all pics and reports.
U12s reach Championship Final.
U13 squad gets bigger and competes very well.
Plenty of ECG boys on both South Ulster Under 14 and U16 squads, as well as Cavan Development squads, highlighting the talent we now have within the club.
First ever Community Games hurling for Kingscourt boys. Bailieborough and Shercock will follow suit in 2015.
27 blitzes for our U8 and U10 squads.
Both Kingscourt and Bailieborough U8/10 groups continue to develop. We also made a few visits to Shercock as well which was encouraging.
We sincerely thank everyone who helped 2014 to be such a success, players, parents, managers, coaches, mentors, sponsors and our partner GAA clubs from the region and Bailieboro Celtic AFC for their help also and we look forward with confidence to 2015.
